Just brilliant. Because Indonesia has a high tax on coffee imports, Trump's going to put a 32% tax on coffee imports from Indonesia - even though the US exports no coffee to Indonesia (or most anywhere else). He literally does not understand the concept of comparative advantage.

The USA can no longer claim to have any moral authority in the eyes of any other country.
The US government has brought shame upon the entire American people in front of the world.
Everyone can see how "human rights" has no meaning anymore.
A new age is coming, without the hypocrisy of the US-led "rules based world order." We will see many countries take their rightful place on the world stage, and regional powers take form.
They will no longer care to be lectured by America and the 'free world' about 'democracy' and 'human rights.' And good for them. What Israel is doing in Gaza is the truth face of 'democracy and human rights.'
They claim that without their 'liberal democracy,' another holocaust will happen - while they commit a genocide right in front of our eyes. Their bluff has been called. And they are the ones who called it themselves.
No one needs the US 'rules based world order' any more. And no order can be maintained by force alone for very long. The world is going to be fundamentally and irreversibly shaped in a way that does not conform to the values of the liberal west.
This is the plain truth of the matter. Meanwhile, America is going to experience it's own seismic events from within.
The liberal world empire is dead. The era of one region dominating the world is coming to a crashing and disgraceful end.
All of the major infrastructural projects and advances in the productive forces are no longer led by America or the West. Major world economic growth is led by China and its post-liberal paradigm of development.
This genocide will disgrace Zionist 'liberal democracy' in a way the holocaust disgraced Nazism, for generations to come.
This goes deeper than Aparthied South Africa. This time, the whole global system of imperialism will come crashing down with the defeat of Zionism.
I've just invoked Art.99 of the UN Charter - for the 1st time in my tenure as Secretary-General.
Facing a severe risk of collapse of the humanitarian system in Gaza, I urge the Council to help avert a humanitarian catastrophe & appeal for a humanitarian ceasefire to be declared.
This is what 40,000 child slaves look like while working in the cobalt mines of Congo. You don't need to upgrade your cellphone every year, maybe you shouldn't buy that electric car you were thinking about buying and vapes aren't good for our health anyway

#BREAKING| Media coverage: "Sharing jokes and goodbyes... Al Qassam Brigades has released a new video of the 6th batch of the Israeli detainees in #Gaza."
It might surprise you that Hamas never invaded Israel on Oct 7. They went into areas like “Ashkelon” that are recognised as Palestinian land even by the United Nations.
A released Palestinian prisoner says in Arabic that Israel held them in the cold w/o electricity, "sprayed us w/ pepper spray" & "left us to die."
She never mentioned Hamas or a word like it. Yet @BBC translated to: "No one helped us. Only Hamas cared...We love them very much."
